Sem2.HW6

What arguments could be made FOR and AGAINST this statment: "America's poor, in the mid 20th century, were mostly responsible for their own problems."

Some said America’s poor were responsible for their own problems because of pauperism. Paupers rely on people’s donation and assist. However, there are still people who work called working poor. Working poor work hard to earn for their daily needs, but the salary is still not enough.

America’s poor can not be fully responsible for their own problem. For example, the Housing Act of 1949 and the urban renewal had both made urban poverty worse. The poor and their neighborhoods were bulldozed, so thousand of poverty had lost their houses.
